TRAFALGAR.

––––

Mrs. James M. Cottle, Monday morn­ing, rose from her bed, dressed herself, and went about her accustomed duties. She sank into a chair and died within a few moments. For some time she had been suffering from brain trouble and no doubt this was the immediate cause of her death. She was about seventy years of age. She leaves a husband, one son and two daughters. The funeral took place at the Methodist church, Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Wycoff, of Nineveh, conducting the services. Her remains were taken to Mt. Pleasant.

James M. Cottle.
